Hello  
I would like to ask how to configure kibana for connect to the elasticsearch on HTTP not HTTPS.  
i have installed ECK on kubernetes and turn off SSL on elasticsearch because I have treafik before ECK and don't need SSL between elastic pods(nodes)  
When I am trying deploy Kibana operator yell to me about :"no port named [https] in service [elastic/elasticsearch-quickstart-es-http]  
it is true because on elastic/elasticsearch-quickstart-es-http is only HTTP not https.

kibana manifest for operator:

```auto
  config:
    elasticsearch:
     hosts:
     - http://elasticsearch-quickstart-es-http.elastic.svc:9200
     username: elastic
     password: <password>
    logging.root.level: trace
    server.basePath: /kibana
    server.publicBaseUrl: https://kibana.<domain>/kibana
    server.rewriteBasePath: true
    server.ssl.enabled: false
    xpack.fleet.agentPolicies:

        package:

          protocol: TCP
        readinessProbe:
          failureThreshold: 3
          httpGet:
            path: /kibana/login
            port: 5601
            scheme: HTTP
        resources:
          limits:
            cpu: "2"
            memory: 2560Mi
          requests:
            cpu: 500m
            memory: 1Gi
  version: 8.5.2

```

in description of kibana manifest:

```auto
Association backend for elasticsearch is not configured

```

I don't see any possibility how to tell kibana communicate on HTTP not https.  
thanks for advise
